Hellloooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
- say hello to frodders - I went to ikea again last week and nearly freaked when a lady came to close with a trolley. My son pushed her trolley away and told her to back off! Bless him. How are things with you?

Hello!! I can totally understand that! I'm doing ok thanks, although moving classrooms and lugging boxes / furniture around wasn't terribly sensible as it made my wrist a bit swollen Arm / wrist / elbow ache or hurt at times but TBH I'm so used to it that it's normal. Hope you are all ok xx

what about 'Splat' ? at least it is in keeping! and as it is brown it can be mudsplat!!

No - and I can't keep calling the others stripey and splodgy (or stripe and splodge!) cos their markings might change as they get older and also the names sound to similar. I only used those so I could tell them apart as babies!

MrsChaos - their dad is called Wispa and their mum is Caramel so there is a chocolate link already! Their brother is Patch and the older sister is Misty (grey) and the older brother is Jet (black)

Hi,

I'm in. I have been so lazy this week i must do better next week.:cool:

Ds2's room is being gutted, walls, ceiling the lot and then put back together again as there's a hole in the ceiling and the walls are damp. OH thinks it's going to take 5 weeks with drying time.:eek: Ds2 and all the contents of his bedroom are going to have to come in with me. So, the toys need to be sorted and reduced in volume. I'm doing a car boot on the 14th August so a lot can go then hopefully ( if he doesn't take too much notice ). The landing is going to have to be cleared as well so the car boot stuff is going to have to live in the dining room for the time being. First i need to declutter the dining room as it tends to become a bit of a dumping ground.:cool:

Thanks to Flylady Command.
Toots i hope you're ok. I'm thinking of you.
Good luck to Mrs Chaos's Ds.
Hugs for G & B, i hope everything goes well.
Well done Mudbath on your weight loss, that's very impressive.
Hugs to Onestep, that sounds painful.

*Nips in quick before Monday;)*

Hello all and thankyou to all in Flylady Central Command.

I have a broken car:o but it's fixable:D but at the moment I don't know when:o so 'mechanic not on holiday' vibes please. Some leak somewhere in cooling system. Barry-across-the-road thinks bottom hose (because it's leaking 'at the bottom' well durr...it would hardly drip from the top, would it *rolls eyes*) I think it's the rad itself partway down - because the system doesn't lose ALL its water.

But I have been out today - all day - with OH who got a text telling him there was no way we could go anywhere in my car so to be prepared to drive. Been to Bolsover Castle. Still not my favourite though but managed to find, when looking for camera angle, a whole line of cherry trees in a country park, laden with cherries. I saw a man walking his dog reach into a tree and eat something so we had to investigate. Fortunately had two empty boxes so brought some home. :D:D:D:D:D
Also checked blackberies. Looking good - bramble jelly making imminent.

And it's 'meet the family' time this weekend - and just to add a frisson of excitement the WHOLE family - extended...don't do things by half, me.

Anyway will post list when I have some idea how tomorrow is going to pan out.

DS1 and co are having them during the day.. OH's mum is coming down for a couple of days so there will be a responsible adult in the house and my mother said if she is needed she will come help stuff them in bed.. but my sis might help here too.. I will leave a list of phone numbers and they can organise themselves.. but I will be out before I am supposed to be because it is not ideal.. but I did tell them that so they'll have to lump it.. OH's sister is likely to turn up at the weekend too..

KH said I had 'better tell the children before I go'.. like I'd just disappear while they were in bed or somethin.. he is such a freak sometimes!!

Thanks everyone.. Not too much sleep here. Got up in the night to visit the loo & nearly fainted with the pain.. Had to literally crawl back to bed with lots of deep breathing . DH working away this week again, so I think it'll be a quiet week.. No work, no driving & v little else! Must see how much I can persuade DD to do

have a good day everyone
